Access recertification, also known as attestation, is a process that helps organizations ensure that users have the appropriate level of access to the resources. At any point, the users should have only enough access needed to do their jobs, and the access complies with the company's policies and regulations. The process typically involves reviewing user access rights, such as permissions to access sensitive data or systems, and comparing them to the users' job responsibilities and roles within the organization. The final goal of the process is to find any discrepancies to investigate and address.
Managing user access and maintaining compliance is getting complex, with organizations having more systems and applications. EmpowerID allows you to manage your access certification and governance, audit user access to critical systems, recertify discrepancies and provide access revocation. With the help of the Recertification features provided by EmpowerID, you can automate the process of recertifying user access, eliminating the need for manual reviews and reducing the risk of human error. EmpowerID uses a task-based approach for Recertification; based on the policies, you can schedule the Audit of user access, this audit results in Business Requests which allows a user to recertify access easily from the Web Interface.
